MENT TES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 23, 2001 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & VARL4NCE - SOUTH OWASSO BLVD. - PRECISION TREE Scalze opened the continuation of public hearing to consider the request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow open and outdoor storage as well as a Variance for the amount of outdoor storage allowed for property on South Owasso Blvd. as requested by Precision Tree. Scalze pointed out that the property under consideration is a large parcel. The proposal by Precision Tree is to construct a 50 -foot by 100 foot building and noted that given the placement of the building on the site it could only be expanded to the south. Scalze asked if the City should be planning for future development of the site. She noted that this would occur either through the division of the site into two lots or through the PUD process. The Planner agreed that future expansion of the building would be likely to occur to the south. He also noted that the City's Subdivision Ordinance requires where there is development of a small portion of a large parcel, that the City requires a concept plan for how the remainder of the site will develop The Planner agreed that the site could be developed further either through a property division or a PUD. The Planner indicated that the City can tie approval of the Conditional Use Permit to the site plan presented this evening, thus preserving the green space shown on the plan. In that way, any modifications of the site plan will require Council approval. The Planner pointed out that the applicant is proposing outdoor storage of 1,400 square feet. The I -P District standards allow outdoor storage of up to 75% of the size of the principal building. Therefore, 3,750 square feet of outdoor storage is permitted. The Planner also noted that outdoor storage must be fully screened. The applicant has proposed a screening fence that encompasses green area as well as the outdoor storage area. The Planner recommended that the fence encompass the outdoor storage area only in order to provide for better control limiting the size of the storage area. The dumpster will also need to be screened. Scalze asked if the dumpster should be moved adjacent to the outdoor storage area. The Planner replied that it could be, but that is not required. The requirement is, however, that both the dumpster and the outdoor storage areas be fully screened. The Planner also noted that 10 parking spaces are proposed on the site plan. This would be adequate if 10% of the building is used as office and 90% as warehouse. The Planner noted that he does not have a floor plan for the building, therefore, has been unable to verify the split of office /warehouse. 5 - 1 8 -
